- This was the HARDEST Helldivers 2 challenge I've ever attempted. Two stratagem slots and default loadout versus HELLDIVE. It's also the most angry I've ever been at the game.

Thanks for watching! SEE YA! 👋
Thank y'all for watching ❤
51 minutes is too dang long! Next one, I'll edit down to 20. Promise! But I felt like I had to tell the full story of this challenge, and cutting it down wouldn't do it justice. Hope you enjoy!
I liked how long it was
The full struggle is always better
Agreed. No need to trim it that much
I have a challenge for you!
Attempt a pacifist run. I did a video on it and succeeded. (But its german though)
The Rules: You can use everything, but do not kill a single enemy. Finish the primary target and extract.
@l1ouston that sounds less stressful than this challenge xD
The default armour is actual a sleeper. It is heavy armour with medium speed making it very powerful against Bots. Bugs… not so much.
eh i run the white version all the time from the superstore vs bugs, same exact stats. almost always run it with a shield tho
100th like and I agree 100%
IT PAINS ME SO MUCH HE USED FRAGS AND NOT HIGH EXPLOSIVES
You wouldn't believe the pain I felt when I finished, went back to edit, then realized I didn't use high explosives...
well hey, he used even worse explosives, so i guess it was just an extra challenge
Was about to comment that too.
Thing is frags actually do more dmg than HE but the tool tip doesn't display shrapnel damage. Plus they have lower Armour Pen.
For all of those who cry about eruptor not having shrapnel, frag nades are literaly eruptor shots.
Minus balistic damage on direct hit.
@@VeneficusCubes Frag nades = Eruptor shots. So when Eruptor was nerfed, Frag was nerfed in the same way?
@@VeneficusCubesthe shrapnel was removed from frag grenades too when it was removed from eruptor. Frags are shit even before that happened HE was always better
For anyone wondering about the song at 20:15 -ish, it’s called The Kill by Particle House
Thank you very much, oh small turtle!
Meanwhile being level 100 and playing Trivial:
*Gordon Ramsay eating at McDonalds*
Trivial is literally
Just looking at scenery and flicking scavengers
@@elijahcook575 I use trivial to go treasure hunting for supercredits
@@elijahcook575 Scavengers are a final boss for some of the game devs, that's how they balance the weapons
It's a great way of grinding super samples. Just put on a podcast or some radio in the background, and start hunting.
Your stratagems are also way better with upgrades though
I think the only improvement is faster call-in time and slightly lower cool-down. I haven't bought any of the tier 5 modules yet. But yeah, they're def better than what they would be as a true level 1.
@@itseasymode yeah dont worry. I am not blaming you xd
@@itseasymodemaybe you could create an alt?
@@A_realMC way too much work
@@bananaphone739 creating a free steam account and enabling family sharing is too much work?
Easy, you're a legend for even attempting this. Also, I love the use of the "Death by Hellpod" 'strategem'. Absolutely impressive.
Thank you brother!
Starting armor is definitely some of the best in the game in terms of overall versatility so no wonder you did it
you should have gone traitor for the forbidden 5th stratagem on those eradication missions. what mattered was the mission completion, not survival. people dont utilize the secret 5th stratagem and it boggles my mind. you can still extract while being labeled a traitor.
I actually thought about it, but thought it would be TOO cheesy. Felt like cheating a little bit.
But hey, I also camped on top of rocks, so 🤷♂️
@@itseasymode its a game mechanic, just like emotes during ragdoll to reduce fall damage. Never be afraid to use game mechanics to your advantage. Hunters never hesitate to do jumping headshots from the 3 point line, so neither should you.
People scream at me when I call in the hidden 6th stratagem to unlock an infinite flying auto cannon. The 5th slot is super handy for eradicate missions, and the 6th is nice for full clearing maps.
@@adeadfishdied whta is a flying autocannon?
News to be @@adeadfishdied
Your devotion to this horrifying challenge amazes me. Asking your democracy officer to give you 5 minutes of family time to recover. Keep up the good work John Helldiver!
The wall of martyr’s most common word will be “hunter”
I’m level 72 and this is literally what I run all the time, except I partake in all 4 stratagem spots, and I bring the senator in place of the peashooter.
why?
@@salaciousdaz8316 loyalty to my liberator assault rifle, my weapons have gotten me this far, it will get me to level 150, then and only then I will start to change my loadout.
@@salaciousdaz8316The Liberator is one of the actual good ARS and the MG43 Machine Gun is a sleeper pick after it’s ammo and reload buff. Precision strike is S tier.
@mclovin2408 I still am ranked as cadet at level 49 and I have never used any armor other than the classic helldiver armor. It's too iconic to let go of.
Helldivers on Tuesday, August 6th 2024 be like: 1:02
how did the helldiver in the intro going into the ship have a flamethrower at 0:07
there's a hidden flamethrower on the tutorial course that i found while replaying it lol
@@itseasymodewhere?
@@itseasymodebtw I love your videos can we play together sometime
@@Xbotls It's next to a skeleton not far from the extraction area. Right side I believe.
Not to be that guy. But i presume you had all your ship modules, not making it a true lvl 1.
Big respect tho and i love the vid❤
Keep up the great work (i would not be able to do this lmao)
No, totally fair point! I wish I could turn off the modules for a game. The lower cooldown definitely helped. But thank you for watching!
i respect that he had enough self respect as to not play with the automatons, not to nulify the absolute torture you did endure
I actually do this to practice it really helps you die less in normal matches if you want to practice to get better and not for just the challenge then I would do lower difficulties until you can do them consistently with no deaths then go up until you’re at max difficulty and I actually think that eradicate swarm I think is the best mission actually because you have to dodge and stuff more
The breakdancing terminid I can’t 😂😂😂
You should also do this with friends!
Would love to see that
Huge props to you doing this ❤, that was awesome
Thank you for suffering for my entertainment 😂😂😂
The real problem here is the reduced stratagem count and the lack of a booster. The starting gear is actually super solid. Especially the armourset and the percision strike are some of the best in the entire game imo.
I feel you bro, i once conpleted a nightmere mision in mothergunship with no weapons, only two fists.
MY LUNCH VIDEO HAS ARRIVED RAAAAAHHHHH
Really happy to see someone else playing the hardest difficulties also thinks that hunters need a rebalance. (Either they need to jump shorter distances, or they shouldn't have the tongues that chase you down when you dodge the initial attack).
Holy shot this is hilarious😂
This was hilarious 😅 bc in a sense I found with this game that difficulty balance not that bad bc they are gracious enough not to hit us with bullet sponge enemies. Just have your strategy movement down when observing the map before the mission but the real difficulty is truly this going into these missions with bad loadouts will truly make you hate this game 😆 but I believe that’s what changes it up & makes it exciting adapting and finding a way thru it . This was fun to see. Need more vids like this
This challenge highlights a lot of the issues with HD2. Enemies walking and attacking through dead bugs while you can't or just get stuck, hunters being way over-tuned, inconsistent damage received, etc.
Inconsistent damage in this game is so annoying, especially with chargers. Sometimes they run you over and deal 1/3 of your health and other times they lightly touch you and you die in one shot.
The basic armor is legit, at least
Dude I had to comment. Holy shit this looks painful, I would have gone through a couple of monitors doing this😆 thank you for your service soldier!
I salute you brother. I can’t even play Helldive solo w best gear. Shoot I can’t even play Helldive in general. I think I’m good at the game but then I see guys like you do stuff like this and I’m blown away!!
Watching you go through all that let me know how upsetting even trying this would be. 😂
Good video though.
If you really want to hate your life. Play the "Promotion leauge."
Start base gear, rank cadet, and dive a difficulty 1 mission. It's easy.
On completion you rank up to space cadet, difficulty 2 and you get to upgrade your armor, primary, secondary, grenade, or unlock 1 new strategem. But only in increments. You can go from base armor to scout, to unlock light armors, and marksman to unlock heavy armor. Primary weapons are the same. You unlock the 1st in a category before moving up. I.e.: punisher to unlock shotguns, diligence for precision weapons, and the like.
Then move to difficulty 3 and get the next rank, and 1 new upgrade.
Caviot: You are not allowed to die, not even once. If you die, you start over with a new cadet at difficulty 1.
You are following 1 diver from greeny to seasoned veteran.
Super fun challenge to do with friends. Because you can stay on the difficulty and use equipment unlocked by whoever survives. But if you have a full squad, it's square 1.
another channel did a challenge similar to this and called it “level 10” they used machine gun, orbital strike, supply pack, and eats.
I understand the spirit of the challenge of not picking up weapons found on missions.
But a level 1 cadet would definitely ditch his/her machine gun for another weapon, either for the better firepower or just because they want to try that shiny new weapon😆
I'd totally be down for a duo version of this
Amazing, This vid needs more attention
Ask your mom I’m dying 😂 23:44
[29:49 atm]
Dude. From the bottom of my heart. I really appreciate you doing this. This was both educational and entertaining. Those Helldivers suffered not in vain but rather inspiration.
I'm rooting and hoping you pull it off by the end of the video.
this is insane, well played!
Damn this is crazy. I’ve messed around with cadet loadouts but always with all 4 stratagems
You’re wild 💀
Holy hell man, hats off to you for even attempting, let alone completing this challenge.
lets be honest, a couple of us totally brought our friend on his first mission with us to helldive.
49:59
"These things absolutely blow"
Well... that is what grenades are supposed to do.
u kinda sound like homelander when angry lol
1 AM but i'm watching the whole thing. Love this, thank u for ur suffering
23:37 is crazy though💀
the MG stop and reload must have made it 1000 time harder on solo. Stalwart would have made this SOO much easier.. and maybe a cheeky orbital rail strike too. Well done for finally getting there!!
Precision is pretty good later on, just need to be careful you don't choose an orbital scatter mission with it
The thing that was killing you when you didn't die from attacks was acid DOT from titans spitting
respect. told many people before doing helldive and before you go on the reddit to complain ‘the game is too hard’ run solo every difficulty.
Lore accurate first mission
the tilting is what really killed me xd
Great video bro lol
Bro, this literally just happened to me because I switched from PS5 to PC
This is a definition of a TRUE HELLDIVER, such dedication sure is admirable by super earth!
I appreciate your willingness to dive into hell with pure rage in your heart. I am also this way.
If you can time it, the Bile from the Bile Titan can kill the Charger.
NEW EASY DROP🗿
I will forever salute my fellow Helldivers but the fact you did this. You have earned my permanent respect 🫡.
The OG suit is definitely a clean design but they have got to add a standard helmet with a black hood like that one "scout" outfit.
Ironically, the extra padding and standard nades are pretty useful against lvl 10 missions. My loadout for it has been medium extra padding armor, basic nades, scorcher, redeemer, auto canon, emancipator, eagle airstrike and precision with any booster my teammates need. Hope it helps for whoever needs it, Goodluck helldivers.
as someone who use Lvl1 Gear alot this is cool to watch others exp
I could feel your rage, lol
Imagine fighting Automatons at Helldive as a demoted cadet Helldiver
its like playing LASO mode from halo, so this is gonna be a nightmare to do with friends, helldivers - Helldive lvl 1 cadet all stock (HD1CAS mode)
picking up weapons on field is part of being a cadet , but well that was a fun challenge to see anyway. o7
How can I NOT SUB?
after seeing all that PAIN...
Then looking and seeing I'm only halfway through the video.. just SO GOOD lol. 😂
(I'm truly sorry for that pain and anguish though, no lie XD)
One time when I was farming SC on trivial, 3 level 1s entered my ship. And I couldn't suppress the urge to throw them into a helldive (on the bug planet because I heard they are easier) to see how they react, fully expecting a wipe and failing to extract. I'm not that good of a player, and I also spend 99% of my time on the bot front, so believe me when I say that TCS mission went WAAAAAY better than I expected. Sure one of them left after 4 deaths, but I carried the rest without dying once. I later realized how good of a spirit they had and a bit undemocratic for me to risk them refunding the game if they thought the game wasn't for them.
Imagine the music in the beginning is sneaky snitch and you just go stealth for the full challenge, the video would be much less entertaining that way but it would have probably been easier
If your super surrounded and there are so many bugs that you know you can't kill them all, go out of bounds and you'll get a free 380 centered on you. If you can survive for long enough to get 2-3 shots off then it can get 20-30% easily.
I genuinely play like this. Stock Helldiver goes hard
Bro nuke nursery chambers are one of the hardest missions when your team ain't toguether, why did bro choose that 😭🙏
Those missions made you so made you didn't punch a hole in your monitor, rather you punched a hole through Meridia
Back in March I was thinking about if the new player experience for HD2 should have more things available at level 1, such as a turret stratagem and a booster.
I understand the default loadout was chosen to not overwhelm new players, but by the time you've played like 5 missions you'll be able to unlock a full stratagem loadout, so what's the point in being so stringent? The first booster you get is on page 3 of the main warbond, so you're missing a core part of your loadout for easily a dozen missions.
I'm undecided on whether an existing stratagem should be brought down to a level 1 unlock, or if new things should be added and automatically unlocked. Either way, I do think the new player experience would benefit from these changes, and this video is a great showcase as to why.
I would like to remind everyone that because of how helldivers 2 works this is 100% canon to the universe and someone in universe actually did this.
I feel you could have used the weapons found around the map. That's definitely what I did as a low level before I'd unlocked them all. It's also how I found my love of the Arc Thrower (may it rest in peace).
The amount of Democracy I'm feeling in my veins while watching this video is immeasurable
Seems like you really earned your promotion.
I greatly appreciate that the starting weapons and strats are still decent. New players can still contribute when playing with higher level friends.
A fellow legionar armor enthusiasts. Respect
I feel like the two stratagems that were disallowed were the only thing holding you back tbh.
Here's a variation of this challenge that could actually be enjoyable.
Full team, same loadout as lvl 1 Cadet, gauntlet.
Have to complete a full operation from Trivial, all the way to Helldive.
Extract isn't necessary but mission complete is. If fail, restart.
I do this a couple of times once every month, the liberator absolutely sucks, 0 accuracy.
As for my normal loadout,
Primary - varies quite a bit but at the moment im loving the tenderizer, I like the ability it has against devastators.
Secondary - Senator
Support - AC
armour - SC30 trailblazer with a different helmet (Forgot its name), and the black to green gradient with a yellow stripe at the bottom for my cape.
Stratagems - Usually* pres strike, 380, eagle air.
* I swap out the 380 for eagle smoke strikes on certain mission types, and blitz is just whatever I feel will destroy bot bases that day.
holy crap, an original helldiver channel video idea (almost all other channels spew the same shit)
you: going back to default
me: never stoped
Super earth supplied me with the best gear they saw fit from the start. and i belive in their judgment
The mental decline throughout the video is scary ngl
Oddly enough stratagem wise this is close to my go to 9 build for bugs, the starting mg, precision strike, supply pack , and something that kills bigs like rail cannon or eats but generally its open choice
Solo alone is hard because you simply do not have the firepower to punch through the hordes. Now multiply that with not even having the right tools.
I did this on my boys account because he had never played and I wanted to get him leveled up quick to buy some important stratagems to get him started. Hopped on my other boy's ship to play helldive on level 1 and fuckin wrecked. I really underestimated how good the initial loadout is.
Actually a lvl 1 wouldn't even have all the ship module upgrades xD
Not picking up items on the map is a bit extreme ngl 😅 but hey certainly a challenge
18:16 this moment even pisses me off I smacked my teeth
now make a supercut making i look easy and you have new propagan- i mean motivational materiel for super earths recruitment campain
Do I have to report this to the democracy officer?
4:35 Dodge smooth af
I think these challenges prove something: Without the Incendiary Breaker, players just struggle. Feel like people really gotta get used to more weapons than just the Ol'Reliable.
If I may add you can get unlock the machine gun sentry and the eagle strafing run at lvl 1 which would have made the challenge easier, I know you dont get it from the tutorial but you can unlock it immediately
So Bots next?
Maybe. But genuninely, I think bots might have been too easy. They can be cheesed with stealth. Maybe if make a rule where I can't use stealth? Then it would be damn impossible.
I would go as far as saying that the Second Rule is kinda unnecessary, since you can find those as a level 1 too
Cadet was overqualified
you forgot that lvl 1 helldiver's are not allowed to steer their hellpods
"Enjoy my suffering"
- That's.. why I'm here.
